Thanks to your donations, we received the Easy-Stack Cardboard Blocks and the FUBAODA Building Blocks for Toddlers & Kids and the impact was immediate and joyful.\r\n\r\nThe moment my Pre-K students at Audubon Elementary saw the new building blocks, their eyes lit up with excitement. Some students gasped, others clapped, and one even exclaimed, \"We can build a castle!\" It was pure magic watching them dive right in, stacking, sorting, planning, and collaborating. These are students from a wide range of backgrounds, and seeing them come together over shared creativity was powerful.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment was during our \"Community Helpers\" unit. Students used the cardboard blocks to construct a pretend fire station, complete with a garage for a fire truck and beds for the firefighters. They used the smaller FUBAODA blocks to create tools and gear, which led to imaginative role play and problem-solving discussions like how to \"put out a fire\" or rescue a kitten from a block \"tree.\" It was a perfect blend of STEM learning, teamwork, and social-emotional development.\r\n\r\nThese materials have opened the door for so much hands-on learning. As we move into our next unit on \"Homes Around the World,\" students will use the blocks to build different types of houses from igloos to huts to skyscrapers, based on what we're learning in class. This not only reinforces their understanding of structures and cultures but also allows them to express their ideas in a concrete, collaborative way.\r\n\r\nYour contribution gave my students more than just toys, it gave them tools to learn, imagine, and grow. Thank you for believing in their potential and helping bring their ideas to life.","fullyFundedDate":1758823600363,"projectUrl":"project/big-ideas-bigger-blocks/9756750/","projectTitle":"\"Big Ideas, Bigger Blocks!\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8566537_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708636344082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8566537"},{"teacherId":8566537,"projectId":9606638,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has transformed into a hub of exploration, creativity, and curiosity. The resources you provided, AILIHEN Kids Headphones, Science Viewers, and Scotch Dry Erase Thermal Laminating Pouches, have made a tangible difference in how my students learn and interact with the world around them.\r\n\r\nHow the Technology is Helping Our Students Learn\r\n\r\nIn Pre-K, students are just beginning their educational journey, and technology like kid-friendly headphones and science viewers helps make abstract concepts come to life in ways that feel exciting and accessible. The AILIHEN headphones have allowed students to engage with interactive read-aloud, calming music during quiet time, and phonics games without distractions. This individualized experience keeps each child focused and helps develop early literacy and listening skills.\r\n\r\nThe Science Viewers are like magic windows into the world! Whether looking at insects, leaves, or textures, students are learning to observe closely, ask questions, and think like young scientists. These tools are helping build critical thinking skills at a very young age.\r\n\r\nWhat's Most Exciting to Our Students\r\n\r\nOur students' eyes lit up the moment they first used the Science Viewers. They were thrilled to be able to \"zoom in\" on real-world objects! Many exclaimed things like, \"I can see the leaf's little hairs!\" or \"It looks HUGE!\" That moment of awe is where learning begins.\r\n\r\nThe laminating pouches have also been a quiet but powerful part of the transformation. Now, I can create reusable, durable learning materials like name practice sheets, letter trace practice, counting games, and visual schedules; which allow students to learn hands-on without worrying about making mistakes. They love being able to write, erase, and try again.\r\n\r\nThe Students Who've Especially Benefited\r\n\r\nOne of my students, who is an English language learner, has especially taken to the headphones. During our literacy station, she uses them to follow along with stories in both English and her home language. It has given her the confidence to participate more in group discussions and helps her feel included and supported.\r\n\r\nAnother student who typically struggles with focus has become deeply engaged when using the Science Viewers. Giving him the chance to explore at his own pace has revealed a love of science we might not have discovered otherwise.\r\n\r\nThank You\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our little explorers are dreaming bigger, learning more, and feeling empowered every day. You didn't just donate supplies, you opened up a world of possibilities for our youngest learners. From all of us in Ms. Green's Pre-K class: thank you for helping us grow, explore, and reach for the stars!","fullyFundedDate":1757551077608,"projectUrl":"project/little-explorers-big-dreams-in-ms-gre/9606638/","projectTitle":"“Little Explorers, Big Dreams in Ms. Green’s Pre-K”","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8566537_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708636344082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8566537"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16291","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":505,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":57,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":69.2,"schoolId":16291,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Audubon Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Audubon Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/east-baton-rouge-parish-public-schools/audubon-elementary-school/16291"}
